The Boleyn Inheritance

Categories:

Philippa Gregory has
created yet another vivid and very readable portrait of Henry VIII's
court and times with The Boleyn Inheritance. Gregory has told this story
from the perspective of three women who were there - Henry's fourth
wife, Bavarian-born Anne of Cleeves, his fifth wife Katherine Howard and
Jane Rochford, who was the sister-in-law of his second wife Anne
Boleyn. As with her other books about Henry and his family, The Constant
Princess, The Other Boleyn Girl, The Queen's Fool and Virgin Lover,
Gregory obviously has researched her subject matter so well and written
yet another terrifically interesting and compelling story of the
court drama and intrigue during Henry VIII's reign. In particular, these
three women come alive with Gregory masterful skill and the reader
gets yet another "inside look" at Henry
VIII's court. This book is highly recommended, especially for those who
have enjoyed Gregory's other books.
